Pedroia has a hit in 42 of his last 44 games.
In the fourth and fifth innings, the Red Sox had 12 of 13 batters reach base.
After Miller floundered (3.2-9-7-2-1, 80), Aceves was excellent in relief (3-1.3-0-0-3, 52). Matt Albers pitched a scoreless eighth inning. He has not allowed a run in July (12.1 innings) and has allowed only one run in his last 21.1 innings, dating back to June 4.4th (Royals lead 7-5): McDonald - K Scutaro - 6-3 Gonzalez - Single Pedroia - Single Ortiz - BB Crawford - BB (6-7) Varitek - F8 5th: Reddick - Single Ellsbury (ph) - Single Sutton (ph) - SAC/E4 (8-7) Scutaro - BB Gonzalez - Single (9-7) Pedroia - Single Ortiz - Single (11-7) Crawford - Single Varitek - K Reddick - F8 SAC (12-7) Ellsbury - F8
The Yankees beat the Mariners 4-1. Seattle managed only one hit and lost its 17th straight game. CC Sabathia struck out a career-high 14 batters in seven innings. New York remains 2 GB Boston.
Last night was only the second game since 1964 in which the Red Sox had at least 13 hits but scored only one run. It has happened to Boston six times since 1919. (The most hits the Red Sox have had while being shutout is 12.)
Michael Vega, Globe:
The Red Sox outhit the Royals, 13-12, marking the ninth game in a row the team has reached double-digit hits.It's been only five games in a row.
Kevin Youkilis tweaked his right hamstring last night, and will likely be given tonight off.
MFY: Mariners/Yankees at 7 PM.

Pedroia's 22-game hit streak is the longest for a Red Sox 2B since Del Pratt (23 games, 1922).
9th time in a row with 10+ hits AT HOME would be true.
Why is LBJ out tonight? I know Youk has a hammie issue. And why McDonald in the 1 spot?
This is one bizarre line-up.
Ellsbury -- Just a day off, sez Tito.
Why not have the top of the lineup go Reddick, FY, AG, Flo, Craw ...? Is this an attempt to spread out the crap and not have it in a lump at the bottom of the order?
Good evening, Mr. Drinkwine.
Just got caught up on the late night thread from last night, passed out around the 8th or so while watching on the computer. Woke up at about 4:30 right as the highlights came on NESN, great timing. Watched the shitty plays half-asleep then passed back out until morning.
It's still in a lump, just wrapped around to the top of the order.
The Yanks game volume on MLBN is really low. It's great, it's like my TV is auto-muting Michael Kay.
anyone else notice that remy's analysis is often (almost always?) restating don's play by play in slightly different words, and telling us what is on our screens.
heh - nesn had FY on the outro and don is all set to say he'll try to extend his streak next half-inning, but then he realizes pedroia is hitting 4th -- and thus may not even bat in the inning -- and has to scramble.
It's strange that we started the game with the 8th and 9th slots.
both the #1 and #9 hitters have the worst OBP in the lineup: .241
Pedroia shaved mid-hit streak?
Darnell gets to each base, one by one, without a hit.
RAZOR SHARP TRIPLE!!!
23
Dustin will reach 56 vs the following teams based on # of days off he gets:
0-3: Yanks at home
4-6: Rangers at home
7-10: @ Toronto
FY 23!!! You gotta love him.
GOOD TIMES!!!
no way fy had that beard for 22 games. what is wrong with don and jerry?
FY23!
Well it's like the #-pitch at bat. You don't start noticing it until a certain point, at which point you decide not to shave till it's over.
Has there been a David Price/Doug Fister matchup yet?
CC pitching a perfect game through 3. Perfect. Game. Thru 3.
By the end of the Padres series, Dustin's beard was pretty unruly. Then in game one of the Philly series he's almost clean. I believe that was his last full shave before last night. Approx June 27.
mmmmmmalbec
Duffy's cliff-walkin' again
Someone here might have insights on this; How do you do a wedding when two languages are involved? Do you read everything twice? What do they do in Canada when there is a wedding that both French and English are needed in?
Papi not looking to be Norm to Duffy's Cliff
GOOD TIMES REDUX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Melkman took the wrong route to the Ball family's house.
Woo hooo. Strap in boys, it's gonna be a long one.
Looks like we are in for a slugfest
5 hits for sox
4 doubles
1 triple
!
KC preparing to adcock to the game
Don just said it is 4-2 KCR but Gameday is showing 5-4 BOS.
I don't know the answer, meunier, but I have an opinion: you learn the Spanish, even if just by rote; have your darling learn the English. You respond in her native language, she in yours! Pretty romantic in my opinion!
fuck off miller.
What Tim said.
hurry back, clay.
BFTF
SHIT.
What is with our lineup? It looks like a bell curve...big bulge in the middle...
puta madre
('bout fuckin TIME, francona!)
...
fuck, it wasn't even tito.
i liked it better when he was walking a ton of people and NOT allowing runs.
mega rain at the new toilet. delayed.
cc: 5.1 perfect innings with 11 K!
That is a great idea I will have to tell her that.
I choose to blame Mazz for this game. Since Ellsbury has been playing so well, he took the day off, which obviously has caused the results of the game thus far.
Man, the replays show the pitch to Gordon was simply grooved right down the middle of the strike zone at 91 mph with NO movement.
Miller not ready for prime-time.
Nickname--Barney? Though I liked that show about the bumbling precinct.
Who doesn't love Abe Vigoda?
Cycle Watch:
FY has double/triple.
Butler needs a triple.
Yeah, but it ain't Ells that's dishing up meatballs.
Has there ever been a game where two players hit for the cycle?
The wedding dances are a bigger problem since you can't do that with them.
Pedroia needs a dong for the cycle.
I thought Duffy was in Dyer straits there but he edged away from his cliff. That ain't workin, that's the way ya do it.
Barney Miller: 7:30 pm on channel 11 before the 8:00 Yanks games.
NOW he needs a dong for the psych.
You'd think FY would knock a dong of Adcock, but just a single ;-)
Abe Vigoda. Ha. That's how my brother and I won a pictionary game many years ago. I was trying to draw pagoda and he couldn't get it. So, I drew a TV with a fish in it, he said Abe Vigoda, I drew sounds like, and he said...Pagoda! Classic.
Squeeze!
RBBI!
2 outs, then
1B
1B
BB
BB
Do not make the third out, Jason.
Ha, you coulda drawn Gene Hackman's sidekick there from Royal Tenenbaums
Everyone have AdCock Plus enabled on firefox?
It blocks all popups, except for the ones containing cock.
Adcock, serve.
(Red Sox' request or last line of a Dong Soup recipe?)
in his defense, that was over the plate.
Damn
fuck >:(
It blocks all popups, except for the ones containing cock.
So it won't cock block you?
Royal Tenenbaums...I never saw it. Is it worth renting?
CC no-hitter thru 6!!!!!!!!!!!! no-hitter
If you're a Wes Anderson fan, it's totally worth renting. I don't know what other people think of it though.
I enjoyed it.
Adcock blocked us.
Wait a minute, MLBN has "no-hitter" all over their screen, then Kay tells me it's a perfect game. Either way, he's pitching ONE OF THOSE TWO TYPES OF GAMES.
Maybe it's time for Aceves to get back into the rotation until HH is back.
we need to bring out the long sticks against adcock.
MLB.com says perfect thru 6...majority rule?
Kay orgasming and he's still got 8 outs to go.
reddick strokes one off adcock!
base hit, hahahahaha, no-hitter over
now seattle can rally, get some runs and give kay blue balls.
Adcock gives up a frozen rope.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
ADCOCK EXPLODES!!!!!
Very strange game
Perfectly Placed by Sutton, and bonus stuff!
the CIRCUS IS IN TOWN!!
that ball almost went in the stands--then Sutton woulda gone all the way around on a bunt
FWIW, I did not get The Royal Tennenbaums, but I tend to have rather square taste.
cock out and some wood in.
adocck faced 8 batters - 7 reached base
I'm packing for Philly, but had to say...
Adcock to Wood? Priceless.
do they have former jays pitcher bush?
There have been 7 guys with the first name Blake to play MLB. 4 have played against the Red Sox in the last 70 days.
(Misleading since Blake is a new first name, but, still.)
bert pokes it through a huge hole.
Time for Wood to give FY a dong.
Wow, 15 years since a Sox player went for the cycle.
OK, I will take a single from FY!
Why couldn't they get some of these runs LAST night?
:)
I'm giving you a raise!
11 of last 12 sox have reached base.
no outs here
7-11 thanks to the Big Gulp of cock and wood
12 of 13!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Did I miss the 6th or something? We aren't in the 7th yet... They better just be setting up the palindrome! Although that would require playing btm 9...
Wood to give up a salami?
12 of 13 reached base
tekis the 1 that did not
tek makes two consecutive sox outs, ending the 4th and the K here
Dick. Wood. Salami.
MAKE TITO APOLOGIZE!!!!!
Nope. Dick. Wood. Sac.
All this explosion and no dongs.
OK, nice inning!
oh fuck you dud.
hmmm, this game could use a brawl.
I hope that hit-by-pitch wasn't intentional from Aceves as insinuated by Don. If it was, then Aceves is an idiot.
bert drilled in his ample wallet - warnings issued.
sausage time, pls, fy/mc
tiz has 5 RBI - could get 4 more here
Stupid pop up..
boooooooooooooooo
I heard 'by way of the K' and 'grab some wall" while I was packing.
Wow I don't think that ball was even IN his glove.
now he hits one ...........
VG
CACTUS DONG!
17 straight Ls for Seattle.
I will take a Tek dong whenever it comes.
Though it would have been better with runners on base, for sure.
position player warming for KC, missed who it is.
It was Mitch Maier
maier in here - twins used cuddyer in the 8th against TEX last night
cycle truped.
TRUPING ASSHOLES.
NESN is so bad
so ... bat around and give him another shot.
NESN - let's dump a bunch of stoopid twitter posts that don't say anything on the screen - and leave them there for viewers to read.
Remy saying he thought Pedey's ball was gone. And we haven't had a replay to see how close it was.
Major Truping!
I"m so glad they put up tweets because I have no access to it other than when a TV station selects a few of them and puts them on the screen. I'd been waiting all day. Thank you NESN. (And thanks for choosing such utterly vital ones, too! I am fulfilled.)
Well it was definitely 37 feet too low! He caught it on track, probably a step from the wall.
because remy was probably watching the screen. which made itlook like it was sailing over the seats ... it was most likely a normal fly to the track, with the crowd oohing and aahing like crowds always do.
the red sox deserve so much better than what nesn does.
maybe heidi can go report on how sticky the band-aids are at the first aid center.
... i notice she never mentions the pricees of all this yummy food!
don with the nyy final about 45 minutes after we got it here.
Outs, damnit
bot up!
Dirty water!
DIRTY WATER!!!!!
Back to within 2 games of KC in the all-time series. Dogfight!
Sack of potatoes in ATL yesterday night, featuring another classic blown call.
That's fucking BRUTAL!!!!!
and LOL to Proctor falling down on the base line after the hit.
It's the type of play where you're normally called out, yes, but on that last replay, it appears as if the glove never made contact. Maybe with the leg but it's not definitive.
Why's the catcher doing a swipe tag? Put that glove out, and let the guy slide right into it.
Cleveland scored on an E, a ground out, and a wild pitch in the first. Through six, they've got a run, no hits, and 3 errors.
Wow, Satana has no walks. So that error on the first batter he faced in the game is the only baserunner he's allowed thru 7 now.
Seattle takes the lead, 1-0
